Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed his satisfaction with the work being done in Davos and specifically at the Greek House.
The Prime Minister was welcomed by the president and founder of Greek House, Irini Vantarakis, and the Director of the Greek House, Konstantinos Foutzopoulos. As the Prime Minister said, the last time he was in Davos was in 2020 when – as he said – we were trying to convince the international investment community that Greece has indeed turned the page.
“I can tell you with certainty that three years later and having already completed an extensive circle of contacts in Davos that the image of the country has changed drastically,” said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, adding that “Greece is an attractive investment destination, through the country’s innovation in policies implemented at many levels as well as the important role it now plays within the European solidity”
The prime minister pointed out that at the same time Greece is recognized as a pole of geopolitical stability in a difficult region, pointing out that there is a great interest in how this effort will continue as 2023 is an election year.
Thanks to Vangelis Marinakis
Irini Vantaraki thanked the Greek ministries and especially the Ministry of Development for the support of the Greek house, while making a special mention of Vangelis Marinakis because without him we would not have been able to be here. In addition, Mrs. Vantaraki referred to the other sponsors who support Greekhouse, making a special mention of PPC.
“These efforts are successful when the forces of the private and public sectors are combined” said the prime minister and concluded by saying that it is important to have private donors who support this effort but it is not easy for a country to stand out in Davos. You did well with the above.
